Tanzania luxury camping safari
How Tanzania luxury camping safari makes a difference
Environment
As care of the environment is paramount to Tanzanian tourism long term, we work with suppliers who ensure that their camps and activity have as small an impact on the environment as possible, with minimal water being wasted and all rubbish being taken away by the team. We believe that sensitive and sustainable tourism is an invaluable help to developing the communities and preserving the environments of sub-Saharan Africa. So we encourage more people to visit Africa; promoting the positives through enjoyable and informative trips – whilst maximising the benefits these generate for the local economies, environments and host communities in Africa. We aim to be a very fair company – to our travellers, to those who work for us and with us, and to the areas and communities which host our travellers.
We actively support areas where our traveller’s visits will help to conserve habitats and develop local communities. We aim to work with suppliers who provide local employment and training and who offer good quality, environmentally and culturally sensitive activities. We encourage local community participation in tourism projects and over the years we have supported a number of successful, small-scale conservation, community and educational projects in Africa.
Responsible tourism is at the heart of what we do and as part of our trips we also encourage our travellers to do their bit with informative suggestions on how to best support the local economy, minimise their footprint on the environment and to be culturally sensitive of the area they are visiting.
When booking your camping safari to Tanzania you’ll be offered the opportunity to offset the carbon generated by your international flights. Although it’s not an exact science, it is thought that a flight to Africa equates to about £20 per person in carbon emissions. The money donated to this initiative will be given to projects which can offset our traveller's carbon emissions in a verifiable way.
Community
We believe in using locally based suppliers wherever possible as this camping safari shows. The trip is always guided by a highly skilled locals, and the mobile camps used are run by an excellent team of Tanzanians. This not only enhances travellers experiences as they have the chance to interact with local people and learn from their knowledge and lifelong experience of the country, but also helps with the economy and employment.
There is also the opportunity to visit a traditional Maasai village during this trip. In return for learning about their traditions and culture, our travellers visit gives a financial contribution used towards children’s schooling and towards medicines for both villagers and their highly prized live stock.
